Innovation agency Maddock Douglas, an internationally recognized firm that helps leading corporations develop new products, services and business models, has named Will Suvari Managing Principal of Health Care & Life Sciences Innovation practice areas.

Suvari, a prominent health care executive and industry thought leader, joins Maddock Douglas with more than 20 years of health care consulting, management and corporate strategy experience, most recently as Life Sciences Strategy and Operations lead for Deloitte.

Suvari’s experience in the health care space includes analysis, integration and operations planning for newly emerging clinical technology, and global marketing at Amgen (a global Fortune 50 biopharmaceutical firm) where he worked to prepare, launch and build a new treatment for chemotherapy-induced anemia into a billion-dollar franchise.

As a former molecular biologist at the Scripps Research Institute, Will first cultivated his passion for innovation in health care working with this world-leading organization. “Ever since Scripps, I have been on a mission of discovery and the early business application of human health breakthroughs. Maddock Douglas gives me a powerful innovation platform to challenge and change the existing business paradigms that slow our industry down,” proclaimed Mr. Suvari.

“Will has been a thought leader in the Chicago health care arena for years and we’re thrilled that he has finally brought his entrepreneurial mojo to Maddock Douglas,” said Maddock Douglas CEO, Mike Maddock.

“Will has what the health care category needs more of right now — the curiosity of an open-minded learner, the action-oriented drive of a capitalist, and the purpose-filled idealism of someone deeply committed to the future of this industry,” added Raphael Louis Vitón, President of Maddock Douglas.

Suvari, who resides in Evanston, Illinois, holds an MBA from the Kellogg Graduate School of Management and a BA from Northwestern University in Biochemistry and English Literature.
